I have a 1974 AMF FXE .
It has been through a couple different looks over the years . Still running strong .
I like the reverse shifting and that shovel sound . Not the fastest thing around ,but it'll run 75 -85 all day on the freeway .
Sounds like an awesome bike ,would love to see a bike that has a story like that 🙂
That's the first Harley ever had I finally got me another one beautiful ride
Well done ,they are a gorgeous machine 🙂
Nice! I have a 73 FX that I’m almost finished with. Fun bikes 🏁
Thanks Mason, they are a great thing to have and ride, always a pleasure for us to have one in stock 😀
Its a beautiful bike...I have exactly the same bike:)
Thank you for the kind words ,I love the thing 🙂
If it wasnt for AMF, Harley wouldnt be here
Everything and everyone has a story that brings us to where we are now ,,I love them all 🙂
I had a '75 FLH never left me stranded like a bloody EVO mate so no hate from me.
Brilliant, that sounds like an awesome bike ,I had a 73 flh in the blue with white panniers ,loved it ,none of us bike lads should be hating on each other, keep on riding safe 🙂👍
Beautiful bike.Sounds great.17 thousand plus miles only,what more could you ask for.The Legendary 73FXE Superglide.Can you tell I got one too?:)
Well done ,they really are a gorgeous bike ,a keeper 😀
Haha well done ,sounds like we are 3 lucky guys so far ,nothing gives me the same pleasure as a classic Harley 😀
@@therealtoyshop Ive just finishedputtin a 03 Duece 41 mm front end on it.Handles great with Fatboy wheels on it. Super E is next with Dynatec 2001i ignition.
@@user-ok7ol8cz8v sounds a beauty keep at it 👍
you are an exact double with my thinking.Make sure you get their coil with the 2000i.Fatboy wheels just make any FX look better
I have a buddy that's got one just like it in a box the frame is there and everything is there I'm supposed to pick it up in Florida and put that son-of-a-gun together in my living room
Haha that's the way to do it 👍
How much did it sell for ? first one of these I saw was in a Tamiya Model Catalogue in 1975 [I think] only ever saw one in Australia where I lived was for sale at bike shop 8 years later [but was into dirt bikes then ,the Only Shovel Ive ever wanted .........
Hi thanks for having a look ,this one is still available on our website therealtoyshop.co.uk , I remember those tamiya models too ,half my cars and bikes over the years have been inspired by them 😀
Rev counter not working:(
It's a 1973 bike no surprise there,keep spreading the love 😀

Proudlessly built by AMF, (Adios M-F--ker!) Most of these bikes are still on the road, but a few made it home in one piece. I love Harleys, and have owned several over the years, but those produced during AMF's ownership were, for the most part, junk.
Well opinions are indeed like ,,,well you know what,, everyone has one , it's 50 years old so what scale are assessing the junk on ,as far as I can see its holding up pretty well ,and that is the only thing I can base my opinion on , I've definitely seen far worse things ,and well I like it so that's my two penneth worth ,keep sade and spread the love ,bikes all need it 😀
@@therealtoyshop I didn't expect a "fellow biker" to more or less call me an a--hole, just for voicing my opinion, one based on over fifty years of personal experience, but I guess that's just another sign of the times, so, so be it! Ride free bro, while you still can. 🇺🇸✌👋
@davidmccall4776 ,I don't think I did ,but if that's what you think ,you did choose to call my bike junk though but that's OK, we're all in it together in this bike world ,I'm not mad on this social media world ,🙂
@@therealtoyshop I wasn't speaking of your bike specifically, but those produced during those years generally. If you took my comment as a personal insult, then I apologize, it certainly wasn't meant to be. If you've had the good fortune of finding one that you can enjoy, then my advice would be to ride it like you stole it, ride the hell out of it! Seeya. ✌🤝☮
swing arm has a stupid angle
short shocks?
Put pics or a vid of your ride up please
